It’s actually impossible to know if Italy’s former Prime Minister (now a convicted tax-fraud felon) was himself offended by the reference to his title in conjunction with a scene about prostitution in Baron Cohen’s 2012 hit, The Dictator.

However, as mention of ‘The Italian Prime Minister’ was changed to ‘a politician’ on screens in Italy, it seems inevitable that his aides were either offended for him or knew the man well enough to assume he was going to be pretty offended himself.

Sacha Baron Cohen has made quite a few people angry with his projects

All Arab countries (except Lebanon)

Back to Borat and Baron Cohen did not stop with his alienation of a faded Hollywood actress.

Deemed to be of such a ‘vile’ and ‘gross’ nature, 21 Arab countries banned the film from their cinemas, therefore, depriving 400 million inhabitants of Borat’s message, such as it was.

A film censor in Dubai claimed that if they removed all of the offensive material, there would only be half an hour left of the film to show.

Staines

Over a decade ago, Baron Cohen created Da Ali G Show and its feature-length offshoot, Ali G Indahouse.

Little could the town of Staines in Surrey know that this film would prove catastrophic for its reputation.

So emphatic was the portrayal of Ali G as the leader of Da West Staines Massiv - a fictional gang of wannabe gangsters from Staines - that the town had to resort to drastic measures and reinvent itself with a new name, Staines-upon-Thames, a whole 10 years after the offending film was released.

Not satisfied with contributing to the breakdown of a marriage and arousing the anger of the entire Arab Nation (except Lebanon), Borat also frustrated the villagers of Glod in Romania to such an extent that they took legal action against the film’s producers.

Unwittingly, they played Borat Sagdiyev’s neighbours and claimed that they were lied to about the nature of filming.

They were also furious about their portrayal, claiming to be shown as incestuous and ignorant which, if true, would certainly infuriate most people.

Grimsby is set for release in 2015 and stars Mark Strong, Ian McShane and Isla Fisher with French director, Louis Leterrier, at the helm.
